What meme is "Emo SpongeBob" and why have I never heard of it before?

[Sara SquarePants]

A recent episode of Kamp Koral had the return of the "Emo SpongeBob" meme which I have never heard of until now

I would certainly remember emo SpongeBob SquarePants so was this version of him actually used in an episode or what?

Thanks in advance!

BTW, Emo SpongeBob is still cute despite being emo

It was from the episode What About Meep.

Just yesterday, Vailskibum94 posted a video about it!

It is a very old meme from the days of Myspace that recently made a comeback same with gangster SpongeBob as well.
